Heart Won’t Stop
VERSE 1
There is not a man or a beast
Nothing on the land or underneath
Oh, nothing that could ever come between
The love You have for me
VERSE 2
I could lay my head in Sheol
I could make my bed at
The bottom of the darkness deep
But there is not a place I could escape You
CHORUS
Your heart won't stop
Coming after me
Your heart won't stop
Coming after me

How Much Longer
VERSE 1
In the silence, tell me, can you hear
The voices calling out, of the disappeared?
Broken spirits, dormant dreams
How much longer will justice sleep?
PRE-CHORUS
When a lawless heart is the voice we're hearing
We need freedom, freedom, freedom
CHORUS
How much longer 'til we sing a new song?
How much longer 'til we sing a new song?
VERSE 2
Hearts of saints and sinners too
Both have walked away from the destitute
Call them back to sing as one
A song of freedom now, a song to overcome
BRIDGE
Come on brother, lay your weapons down
Where the river of justice rolls and all oppression drowns
It flows with life, love and truth
May the old be washed away and hearts be made anew
Songwriters: Art Hooker / Ben Hardesty / Courtney Orlando
Lean Back
VERSE 1
You will never leave
Your love sustaining me
Before I even knew
What love was
VERSE 2
You've brought me here to rest
And given me space to breathe
So I'll stay still until
It sinks in
CHORUS
I will lean back in the loving arms
Of a beautiful Father
Breathe deep and know that He is good
He's a love like no other
BRIDGE
Now I can see Your love is better
Than all the others that I've seen
I'm breathing deep all of Your goodness
Your loving-kindness to me

Sermon
Series: Sabbath as Resistance
Sermon title: Stop. Cease. Keep.
Speaker: Rev. Ben Richards
Scripture: Genesis 2.1-2 and Exodus 20.8-11 (CEB)
He Has Time
VERSE 1
Something's been stolen
Under the weight of the curse you've been broken
You're not what happened
You're more than the shame you were recklessly given
You silently scream through the tears you can't keep from falling
Wishing they poured out enough to break through the hurting
CHORUS
Jesus runs after the broken ones
Weeping with those who weep, crowns them with purity
And years of shame shatter in Jesus name
VERSE 2
You can't shake the feeling
He's not in a rush, He has time for your healing
Lean on His shoulder
It's never too late and your story's not over
You wish you could go back in time rewrite your own ending
Then you find faith to believe it's just the beginning
BRIDGE
He is here
And He has time
To take what's wrong
And make it right

Affirmation of Faith
Apostle’s Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done on earth,
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
forever. Amen.
Rest in You
VERSE 1
Who is Lord, but our Lord?
Who is God? Only God
You are the highest
You are most good
VERSE 2
Matchless is your love
Our praise will rise above
Your peace like a river
Floods over us
CHORUS
Our hearts are restless until they find rest in you
Our hearts are restless until they find rest, in you
This is where my hope lies, this is where my soul sighs
And I will always find my rest in you
VERSE 3
So full of mercy
Beauty and mystery
You are most hidden
But always with us
BRIDGE
You cannot change, yet you change everything
You cannot change, yet you change everything
